‘That’s Me! Eliminating barriers to post graduate research study in the West Midland’s is a project that aims to explore the postgraduate research experience, from starting at the application stage to after completion.
We are particularly interested in the experiences of global majority Master's level students that is, people who identify as coming from a Black, Asian or Minority Ethnic background.
We'd like to hear your thoughts about PhD-level research. Have you ever considered applying for a PhD? What steps do you think you'd need to take to pursue a PhD? What do you see as the challenges in pursuing a PhD?
The That’s Me project team invite Global Majority Masters' students, from ADM, BLSS and CEBE, to share their views on applying for a doctoral degree at BCU and how this process could be made fairer and more inclusive.
You will be able to:
- Share your insights on application processes, including how we can better publicise PhD opportunities to Masters' students.
- Help us shape a more inclusive application and induction processes for future researchers.
This opportunity is open to Master’s Students at BCU who identify as Global Majority. “Global Majority is a collective term that first and foremost speaks to and encourages those so-called to think of themselves as belonging to the global majority. It refers to people who are Black, Asian, Brown, dual-heritage, indigenous to the global south, and or have been racialised as 'ethnic minorities'” - follow this link for more information on the definition.
All participants will be rewarded with a £15 Love2Shop Voucher. Love2Shop Vouchers can be used at more than 50 popular high street and online brands.
If you would like to share your views, please complete this form to sign up. Once you have signed up one of the That's Me! team will be in-touch to support your participation
